It's just ridiculous if we have to move only for a wider range of edits. Listen, Gamepedia isn't as familliar as Wikia Fandom.

First of all, I BET NOT UNTIL 1/2 OF THESE USERS HAVE ACCOUNT OR THEY CAN'T MAKE AN ACCOUNT AT GAMEPEDIA. So, that's a drastic down-count for the amount of contributors that willing to help.

Wikia is more famous rather than Gamepedia. You expect people to search up things in Gamepedia? Wrong choice. Wiki is more... "common" than Gamepedia, so people will type up "Wikia" on their search bar to find information. Many old players will search up in this Wikia, right here.

'''Better customization? Not really.''' If you're really know the full potential of Wikia, Wikia has the same position like Gamepedia for edits. Have you checked Minecraft Wiki (not the one in Gamepedia)? Have you checked the other pokemon wiki (not Bulbapedia)? There's your example of good info-management.

Wikia has function that Gamepedia didn't have, such as the chat system, or the simpler edit like Wikia have. If the contributors cannot contribute, you expect day and night receiving updates from those contributors that cannot add it to a page? Wikia has simpler edits.

A reason, i remember, you want to move, is "Information Space". '''Wikia has enough space if you can edit and script it right. '''I encountered many, many, yet many Wikia pages that has tons of information, but it didn't cramped like you said.

Finally, I remembered you said "Wikia has more ads than Gamepedia". WRONG WORD MAN. I've checked TONS of Gamepedia pages, and '''cookies and ads popping up everywhere at my screen. '''Wikia has no ads nor cookies (although they are cookies and ads, they're really rare). Rather, i haven't encountered any cookies nor ads in this Wikia that is "intrusive" by what you mean. And, ads have their own ways, don't judge them.

With this explanation, and after long searching high-low up-down about Gamepedia vs. Wikia, AND my long writing about the reason why we don't have to move, i hope you'll understand.

Good Day sir (or madam :p)........ (sorry if i'm using words that a bit harsh, but you get it)
